Barr has been widely condemned following a series of racist and offensive tweets, including comparing former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.

She also accused 87-year-old Jewish billionaire George Soros, who survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary during World War II, of being a Nazi collaborator.

Timing is everything: The disgraced star was submitted as a potential nominee to the TV Academy weeks before her racist tirade that caused the sitcom to be cancelled

ABC swiftly canceled Barr's hit show 'Roseanne' and slammed the comedienne's comments as 'abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values'.

Following the fallout, Barr apologized for the tweet about Jarrett and to her colleagues, however it took her until Monday to apologise to Soros.

Last week she posted a cryptic tweet which read: 'I'm making restitution for the pain I have caused,' but she did not elaborate on what that might entail.

Barr has insisted she is not racist, and is now believed to be lying low at her parents' home in Utah, where she has been pictured in recent days looking disheveled.

Barr served as a star and executive producer on Roseanne, which was a ratings phenomenon when it returned to US television earlier this year for a 10th series, after its original run came to an end in May 1997.

Promise: Barr has apologised for her tweets, posted that she would make 'restitution for the pain'

Rumors of a spin-off began circling last week, with producers reportedly in talks about how to create a show without Barr, but some raised concerns that she would still be able to profit from such a production.

However, the actress reportedly 'feels so bad' about the cancellation of the show that she might step away from a potential spin-off, Page Six reported.

'She’s considering giving up financial and creative participation in a spin-off so the people she loves can have jobs,' a source close to Barr told the website.

One possible suggestion is a spin-off focusing on Barr's on-screen daughter Darlene, played by Sara Gilbert.

Gilbert appeared on The Talk last Monday saying she was saddened about how 'Roseanne' ended, but still supported ABC's decision to cancel the program.

Gilbert, an executive producer on the rebooted series, said the show 'has always been about diversity, love and inclusion'.
